Resumen

Neutron activation analysis has been utilized to determine the presence of undesirable elements in biocompatible osseous polymer fibers (BOP-F). This material is used as osseous tissue substitute in bone damage. The analysis was carried out using thermal neutrons. A short and long irradiation schemes were applied during analysis. Na and Br were found in the samples whose ratio is close to ratio found in human corporal fluids.
